About Monmouth College

Our commitment to transformative learning is founded on three core principles: an intellectually challenging and rigorous academic experience built on a strong foundation in the liberal arts; learning experiences that are both immersive and that extend beyond the classroom; and preparation for life after Monmouth. To enhance the breadth and impact of our commitment, we offer a high level of personalization for each student, infusing the Monmouth Experience throughout every aspect of campus life.

Our signature programming extends from undergraduate studies to graduate programs and preparatory experiences for career advancement outside of the classroom. We ensure that career support for our students, from undergraduate research opportunities to graduate faculty mentorship, is embedded in the curriculum and tailored to fit individual objectives. Our alumni have the preparation, relationships and insight needed to thrive throughout their lives.

Together, these principles are the critical components of a Monmouth education. This is what shapes our identity and distinguishes the university from any other. Most of all, these are the indispensable ingredients for how we prepare young men and women for the lives ahead of them.

Additional information

rom Monmouth Junior College, to Monmouth College, and, finally, to Monmouth University, our alma mater continues to grow, evolve and achieve new levels of excellence nearly eight decades since its founding. Monmouth University is about energy, enthusiasm, and opportunity. It offers students a well-rounded and bold academic environment with abundant opportunity for growth—personal, professional, and social as they prepare to become leaders in their chosen fields.

Monmouth was founded in 1933 to provide opportunity for higher education to area high school graduates who, in those Depression-era days, could not afford to go away to college. It was a two-year institution, holding classes only in the evening.

Support from students and the community enabled the fledgling College to persevere and quickly assume its present private status. In 1956, Monmouth College was accredited by the state to offer four-year programs leading to the baccalaureate degree. Less than a decade later, it was authorized to offer master's degree programs. In March 1995, the New Jersey Commission on Higher Education granted Monmouth university status.

Today Monmouth University offers 32 undergraduate and 24 graduate degree programs and a multitude of certificate programs. The University has been steadfast in its ongoing transformation as a first-choice destination school by progressively raising admission criteria for incoming students and enhancing the quality of its academic programs. Within its student body, 31 states and 34 foreign nations are represented. More than 1,600 undergraduates are resident students who enjoy a challenging learning environment on a campus that blends classic beauty with the latest technology.

Monmouth continues to build upon its achievements by providing dynamic, first-tier, personalized education that empowers students to reach their full potential as leaders and make significant contributions to their community and society.

Monmouth University’s location offers the best of both worlds. Less than one mile from the Atlantic Ocean and only one hour from New York City and Philadelphia, there is no lack of cultural and recreational opportunities – but it’s also a location that directly impacts and enhances learning experiences every day.

Vibrant learning. Discover more than clear ocean waters at the beach through the Urban Coast Institute, a major in Marine and Environmental Biology and Policy, internships with the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife, or our Sailing Club. Monmouth is the eastern seaboard's first GRAMMY Museum affiliate.

Historic campus. Woodrow Wilson Hall is a National Historic Landmark. Walt Withey Chapel was imported from Europe and was once part of a 16th century Tudor Abbey. Guggenheim Cottage, a wing of the library, is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. At Monmouth, you learn in an environment that’s as historic as it is cutting edge.

Big city life. New York City. Philadelphia. Some of the most energizing and exciting cities in the world, just a short ride from campus. Group excursions and class trips to theatres. Fortune 500 companies, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Fox News – and internship opportunities at the Penn Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, JPMorgan Chase, MTV, or the Philadelphia Zoo are all convenient to Monmouth.

Stunning location. Leaders arise from Monmouth’s 159-acre campus full of wide green lawns and historic yet state-of-the-art facilities. Beyond the gates, the sun-splashed beaches of the Jersey Shore are waiting - and West Long Branch, a city of about 10,000 people, has the shops and restaurants that make this the perfect place to learn and live.

Located along New Jersey’s northern coastline, Monmouth University offers a welcoming and dynamic setting for student development. Innovative academic programs, individual faculty attention and nationally ranked Division One athletics make our private university a great place to find your future.

Monmouth’s beautiful coastal campus sits at the heart of a vibrant culture rich in history, the arts, technology and entrepreneurship. Just one hour from New York and Philadelphia, we take pride in preparing students to succeed in life after Monmouth. Our renowned faculty are actively involved in advancing academic research nationwide while encouraging meaningful community involvement and critical thinking for self-fulfillment.
